The importance of quality in austere times: University competitiveness and grant income [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
After 2009 many governments implemented austerity measures, often restricting science funding. Did such restrictions further skew grant income towards elite scientists and universities? And did increased competition for funding undermine participation?

Entropy and equilibria in competitive systems [PDF]

Entropy 2014, 16, 1-22, 2014
This paper investigates applicability of thermodynamic concepts and principles to competitive systems. We show that Tsallis entropies are suitable for characterisation of systems with transitive competition when mutations deviate from Gibbs mutations. Different types of equilibrium in competitive systems are considered and analysed.

Competition ability dependence on uniqueness in some collaboration-competition bipartite networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Recently, our group quantitatively defined two quantities, "competition ability" and "uniqueness" (Chin. Phys. Lett. 26 (2009) 058901) for a kind of cooperation-competition bipartite networks, where "producers" produce some "products" and "output" them to a "market" to make competition.

Rational Competitive Analysis [PDF]

Proceedings of IJCAI-2001, 2001
Much work in computer science has adopted competitive analysis as a tool for decision making under uncertainty. In this work we extend competitive analysis to the context of multi-agent systems. Unlike classical competitive analysis where the behavior of an agent's environment is taken to be arbitrary, we consider the case where an agent's environment ...

Alternative versions of the global competitive industrial performance ranking constructed by methods from social choice theory [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The Competitive Industrial Performance index (developed by experts of the UNIDO) is designed as a measure of national competitiveness. Index is an aggregate of eight observable variables, representing different dimensions of competitive industrial performance.

On $m$-step competition graphs of bipartite tournaments [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, we completely characterize the $m$-step competition graph of a bipartite tournament for any integer $m \ge 2$. In addition, we compute the competition index and the competition period of a bipartite tournament.

The Design and Implementation of Modern Online Programming Competitions [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
This paper presents a framework for the implementation of online programming competitions, including a set of principles for the design of the multiplayer game and a practical framework for the construction of the competition environment. The paper presents a successful example competition, the 2016-17 Halite challenge, and briefly mentions a second ...

Accelerating Competitive Learning Graph Quantization [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Vector quantization(VQ) is a lossy data compression technique from signal processing for which simple competitive learning is one standard method to quantize patterns from the input space. Extending competitive learning VQ to the domain of graphs results in competitive learning for quantizing input graphs.

Competition graphs induced by permutations [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In prior work, Cho and Kim studied competition graphs arising from doubly partial orders. In this article, we consider a related problem where competition graphs are instead induced by permutations. We first show that this approach produces the same class of competition graphs as the doubly partial order. In addition, we observe that the $123$ and $132$
